THE OPIUM HABIT.
The Most Affect of Slaveries-Is There
Any Emancipator?

fhe Most Affect of Slaveries-Is There
Any Emancipator?
The New York papers lately published a
fery pathetic story about very popular
emotional actress. ItWas to the effect that
she had become a confirmed victim of the
opium habit, involving an almost total loss
of physical and mental powers, and actual
Restitution.
The story was at once denied by her
friends, who say she has suffered simply
from nervous pfostration, is in no need of
pecunlary aid, and is on the way to speedy
recovery.
Opium victims are usually hopeless, help
less slaves, mind weakened, lacking energy
TOR any effort toward recovery, rapidly
drifting into imbeciity and untimely
graves.
A peculiar feature is that victims craftily
young lady at school near Philadelphia was
recently found to be secretly addicted to it,
keeping her "medicine" in school-rOom
n4kstand, and injecting the fluid into
her arm with stylographic pen!
=. N the Cnlcago Ear9a tteld a,.d Stocknaaa,
|. o., from Barstow, Ky: 81 missed the
paper that had my letter in, so did not
know that you made the request to know
what it was I used to break up the NOR
9hlne habit, until l got a letter from a gen
tleman asking information. I should have
oSOAS1s
cure. l should have given it when wrote
the letten, but it looked too much like an ad-
Vertisement."
:, This voluntary statement goes to confirm
the claim made by the proprietors of War
aer's safe cure, that it is the only remedy in
The world which has any decided power over
diseases of the kidneys and liver, and that
this terrible habit can not be cured until
these organs have first been restored to full
oealth, because they are the ones chiefly af-
fected by this drug.
Editor VIM. A. Bode, Of Alton, Ill, was
completely cured of the opium habit, ac-
luired by long use in painful malady,
with Warmers safe cure. 1t can not be
cured at all if the kidneys and liver are dis
eased.
It is not claimed that there is any thing
IN Warmers safe cure alone which will do
away with the habit, except that it puts the
kidneys and liver in a healthy condition,
giving the whole system that strength and
tone without which any attempt to throw
off the habit would be vain.
1t is because physicians have discovered
that no other remedy is so beneficial in re-
storing health to the liver, kidneys and gen.
eral system as the one stated that it has
come into general use in connection with
the special remedies for the cure Of the
dreadful opium habit.
One of the worst features Of the opium
habit, is the deadening of mental and moral
sensibilities in proportion as it weakens the
physical system and the will power.

Popular Education.

We synpathize with the feeling which
often leads citiz ms to boast that no child
born in this country need grow up in
ignorance, and yet it is fact that many
people who have learned to read and write

Women in Public Life,

Women in politics have always been
more OF less conspicuous in this coun-
try. Perhaps of late years they have
become more noticeable in this respect.
The history of Andrew Jackson's Adj
ministration is a proof of how much
trouble between political friends can be
caused sometimes innocently by q
woman's personality. Kate Chase
prague was at one time power in
Washington, before whom great states
mon bowed, and she was the support
upon which her father leaned during
all the Years when he toiled upwards
with longing eyes towards the Prcsi-
dency which he never reached. John
A. Logan's wife, with her bright face
and white hair, outlined against the
dark, burly personality of her husband
will always be a remembered figure in
National politics. Had he lived she
would have continued her ceaseless
struggle to make him President and
she would have kept up her unchang-
ing custom of finding new friends daily
for her husband among the politicians
visiting Washington. Mrs. Hayes made
herself quite conspicuous character
during her husbands term of office,
and though she was a modest, shrink
ing little woman, who had no love for
public affairs, she was credited with
managing a good part of the Govern
ment business for her going hus-
band. These are only a few instances
out Of the hundreds where women have
within the last few years impressed
their personality on political affairs in
this country. If the full truth were
written about the history of legislation
in Washington it might be amazing to
note how much of women's influence
and womens work run through the
whole network of our National affairs
and Government.-New York Graphic.

An English expert warns farmers

phospheric acid. etc. taken away, but
also considerable amount of organic

much reduced. The advice applies as

straw and buy commercial fertilizers.

Genius Is Not Dead.

1t is fashionable nowadays las it has been
always to complain that all our great writers
and thinkers are dead or dying, and who is
there left to replace them? Dickens, Thack-
cray, George Eliot, Trollope and Reade are
gone. Carlyle has ceased from his lifelong
wall; Darwin has left the less fit to survive;
Mill has joined the voteless majority. Ma
cauley, Lytton and Disraeli have gone.
Across the Atlantic, Emerson, Longfellow,
Hawthorne sleep in Sleepy Hollow; Lowell,
Holmes and Whittier belong to the elder and
passing generation. Where are the Juniors
who ought to be taking their vacant places?
If one ventures to suggest rising name or
two in reply, the objector has always an easy
answer Young So and So? All, he writes
poems, does be9 No, no; never heard Of
him" Or else, in a more dogmatically mega
tive form, "You don't mean to say you think
that fellow amounts to anythingT'
The fact is, the men still labor, like Pitt,
under the fatal defect of being young; as
young as Tennyson and Thackeray and
Herbert Spencer were, at their age, no
younger.
Look at the critical journals of thirty or
forty years back, and you will find exactly
the same complaint made and with exactly
the same measure of reason. 1t was then said ::
"All the grand old men of the grand old days
are dead or dying, and who is there left to re-
place them" Why, young Mr.. Tennyson,
who wrote those silly sing song verses of
"Oriana;" young Mr.. Dickens, the author of
those vulgar catchpenny "Pickwick Papers"
young Mr. Thackeray, who hangs about the
clubs and failed with the "Luck Of Barry
Lyndon"
All the available protoplasm in the country
was not used up in the production of Tenny-
son and Arnold and Browning. The reason
why no two or three names emerge conspicu-
ously as yet among the younger men is not
because there are none to emerge, but be-
cause, on the other hand, there are far too
many. We live in an age when high genius
is a drug in the market; the supply of origi-
nality, of brilliancy, of first rate workman
ship far exceeds the effective demand.-Fort-
nightly
